Description

Scanning method, device and terminal

Background technique

With the development of the mobile Internet, the scanning function of QR codes or barcodes is increasingly used. For example, the sweeping function of social software and payment software, as well as third-party scanning software. The scanning function implemented by the third-party software is to scan and obtain the scanning information by scanning the finder frame. The scanning method has its limitations. Because the framing frame is required to locate the barcode, the user needs to adjust the terminal according to the framing frame, so that the barcode is completely displayed in the framing frame, and the user must perform repeated adjustments, and at the same time, the user needs to pass the terminal. The display screen is used to view the matching of the barcode and the framing frame. Therefore, the method must occupy the current user interface of the terminal to present the currently scanned image of the camera, which affects the user to use the terminal to perform other operations at the same time, for example. When the user edits the text or fills in the data, if the barcode (one-dimensional code/two-dimensional code) information needs to be inserted, the user cannot directly scan the code input; instead, the user needs to switch to the scanning application separately, and the bar code information is obtained through the finder frame scanning, and then Copy it, the operation is more complicated.

Step 130: After the scan positioning indicator is turned on, the camera on the control terminal scans the image to be scanned.

In this embodiment, since the scanning positioning indicator is used to indicate the scanning position to the user, the operation of controlling the camera to scan the image may be performed in the background, that is, the user interface presented in the foreground of the terminal is no longer displayed. The picture captured by the camera so that it does not affect the user's current operation.

Step 140: Perform barcode analysis on the scanned image to obtain barcode information.

In this embodiment, the bar code parsing is performed on the scanned image (for example, the one-dimensional code or the two-dimensional code image), and may be a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code parsing, and the scanned image may be determined according to the current setting of the user. Which kind of analysis.

2 is a working flow chart of a scanning method provided by an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the method is Including the following processing:

Step 201: The mobile phone pre-installs a scanning application (Application, APP). When the computer is turned on, the scanning APP starts up and starts, and the scanning service monitors the scanning button event in the background. If the floating button switch in the scanning APP is turned on, the control mobile phone screen displays the scanning button, and the button can slide the position arbitrarily; if the floating button switch in the scanning APP is turned off, the scanning button is not displayed on the mobile phone screen, and the scanning function is triggered only by the physical scanning key.

Step 202: When the user edits the short message, the barcode information corresponding to the one-dimensional code or the two-dimensional code needs to be sent to the contact, and the scanning process is triggered by the physical scan key or the floating scan button.

Step 203: adaptively turn on the fill light according to different brightness levels according to the current ambient brightness level. For example, if the current environment is very dim, turn on the fill light at the highest brightness level. If the brightness is normal, turn on the fill light at the second brightness level; if the light is bright, you don't need to turn on the fill light.

Step 204: Turn on the positioning indicator to enable the user to adjust the distance between the mobile phone and the barcode to ensure that the indicator is accurately positioned on the barcode.

Step 205, the camera scans the barcode, and uploads the collected image information to the scanning APP.

Step 206: The scanning APP parses the bar code information according to the configuration of the one-dimensional code/two-dimensional code, and inputs the parsed bar code information into the short message editing frame. After the analysis is successful, the phone can send a prompt to remind the user that the scan has been successfully scanned. For example, no new scan button action is detected within 10 seconds, and the fill light and the position light are turned off.

3 is a starting and closing process of the positioning lamp in the embodiment;

In step 301, the user presses the physical scan key or the screen floating scan key to initiate a request to turn on the positioning indicator.

Step 302: Determine the current status of the positioning indicator: if the positioning indicator is on, the positioning indicator is not operated; if the positioning indicator is off, the positioning indicator is turned on.

In step 303, after the camera scans the image, the 10s timer is started. If no new scanning event is detected within 10 seconds, the positioning lamp is turned off after being delayed for 10 seconds. If a new scan event is detected, continue scanning. After the next scan is completed, delay the delay of 10s to turn off the positioning light. The scanning APP involved in this embodiment has the following functions:

The user can configure the brightness value of the fill light by scanning the APP to configure different ambient light levels.

The user can set the recognition mode for the scanned image by scanning the APP. When the user selects the one-dimensional code option in the APP, when scanning the barcode, the image is parsed according to the one-dimensional code form to generate the corresponding barcode number. When the user selects the two-dimensional code in the scanning APP, when scanning the barcode, the image is parsed according to the two-dimensional code form to generate a corresponding link address.

When the user selects the Enter key in the scanning APP, if the user scans the QR code in the browser address bar, the user can automatically jump to the corresponding website without additional operations.

Support floating button configuration, if the floating button is checked, the floating button will be displayed on the screen of the mobile phone; if the floating button is not selected, the floating button will not be displayed, and the physical button is required to initiate scanning.

Supports adding suffix and suffix configuration to the parsed image information. For example, for the two-dimensional code, the www prefix is configured, and other conditions can be configured according to requirements.

1. Scan a button (such as a physical button or a virtual button), set to issue a scan command, and start the scan function.

2. Scan the APP and set it to configure the barcode and scan function. The APP can be booted from the boot, and is resident in the terminal to monitor the scanning event. The floating scan virtual button is supported, and if the scan virtual button is set to on, the floating scan button is displayed on the control screen. The user can initiate a scan through the floating scan button when a scan needs to be initiated. At the same time, it is also possible to set various scanning options for scanning, and after receiving the scanned image information, the image information is parsed and input into the currently edited text box.

3. Scan the fill light, set to increase the brightness of the dim environment to improve the scan success rate. After receiving the scan command, adaptively turn on the fill light according to the current ambient brightness to increase the ambient brightness. The fill light can be the flash of the camera, and can be set to display and fill the light after receiving the fill light signal. The light of the brightness value corresponding to the signal.

4. The positioning indicator is set to the positioning target barcode. During the scanning process, the target bar code is located by the indicator light to ensure that the target bar code can be accurately and quickly identified.

5. Scan the camera, set to capture the scanned image, upload the image information to the scanning APP for analysis; when the scanning is started, open the scanning camera to start capturing the image; when the scanning APP successfully parses the image After the code, the scanning camera is turned off.
